Been a long time nintendo user but finally something got the better of me and I couldn't resist the opportunity of buying a PSP with 3.03OE-B firmware.
Anyway, don't actually get it until next week but have been doing a bit of research and I have a question that I think is hopefully simple but one for which I cannot easily seem to find an answer...
I understand you can play backups of games in either iso or cso format but what I don't understand is why you would prefer to play in iso rather than cso when, from what I have found so far, cso's seem to be about 60% the size of isos.
Why would I therefore want to use up more of my memory card space with an iso?
Or am I missing something? Do cso files actually have to have room on the memory card to uncompress so it isn't such a simple case of converting images to cso and seeing how many I can cram on my card? Are they directly readable in their cso format and no such extra space is required? Is it that some games will only work in iso format?
I'm a bit confused and hoping someone can give me a little bit of guidance on this issue?
Thanks
